listing-review for: 1840 Sumac AVE

May 17, 2016

This house has an interesting Mid Century Modern feel but you don’t experience that until you walk in the front door. The curb appeal is lacking with a 2 car garage that greets you, along with a high fence that hides the entrance. You must open the gate and walk through a courtyard garden to see the frontdoor. Once inside, the house has high, angled ceilings and a great wall of windows looking out onto the backyard. It needs updating in the kitchen and bathrooms but is very well maintained and could be easily updated without a lot of money. The legal ADU in the front of the house is a bonus and could be converted into the master bedroom or family room or used as an income stream as is. I think this house is priced well and is great “as is” and has potential to be updated into a house that is $1.3-$1.5M like it’s nextdoor neighbor to the east.
